We are so so so so so so....thrilled to finally be getting some warm weather around here. I don't think I've ever longed this hard for summer, but it seems its highly anticipated sunshine will at last be making an appearance soon enough.

We've got our vegetable garden planted, our outfits lined up, and we are giving away TWO of our most favorite summer accessories in preparation for the 80+ degree days to come!

Our Mala Prayer Bead necklaces can most certainly be worn year round, but we find them to be particularly great accessories on hot days when tanks and t-shirts dominate our daily wardrobe. Keep things casual with a simple wooded variety, or opt for one of our more glam gemstone Malas for a more classy or elegant look.

One of the best things about our Mala Prayer Bead necklaces are that they work double duty. Malas have been used for thousands of years as tools for meditation and prayer (stay tuned for a video on how I use mine at the end of this post). Not only are they a great addition to your jewelry box, but they can also help keep you grounded, guided, and up to date on your gratitude practice.
